Lessons from a Quitter

Last week on the podcast, we talked all about being open to the possibilities. Well, Dielle Charon is an example of what is possible.

Starting out her career as a Social Worker, Dielle was doing something she loved but wasn't making enough money to even cover her student loans. Realizing she needed to make additional income, she began her entrepreneurial journey on the side. She grew her coaching business to replace her income while working her full-time job and commuting 3-hours a day!

She finally quit in 2020 and went from making $40,000 in her coaching business to making $1 million in 2022. Her story is simply incredible.

Dielle is a certified life coach and 7 figure sales expert for WOC Coaches. She is the host of the Black, Banked, and Booked Out Podcast and runs two sales programs: Five Figure Freedom and Six Figure Liberation.

Are you open to the possibility that things could be so much better than they are now?

That you could have more time.

More money

More opportunities

More creativity

More connection

More flexibility

More of whatever you want

If you're not open to that, ask yourself "why?" Because here is the unfortunate truth:

If you're not open to it, it won't happen.

In today's episode, I'll dive into:

1. Why your belief in what is possible has to be the first step
2. Why believing other people have more possibilities is a problem
3. How to start opening yourself to more possibilities

Right now can be a difficult time for many.

With the announcement of tens of thousands of layoffs and the signs of a pending recession, it's easy to fall into tons of negative thinking.

While we can't change the circumstances that we encounter in life…

We can change how we respond to them.

In fact, that's the only thing we control.

On today's podcast, I dive into how you can reduce all the anxiety, stress, and frustration that comes along with uncertain times or difficult things in the world.

This week's episode is a replay of Episode 117: How Kristina Barile Went From MIT Rocket Scientist to Living Off The Land In Panama.

On this week's episode, I interview the incredible Kristina Barile on her journey from a Harvard and MIT-grad rocket scientist to living in a mud home in Panama, teaching holistic, nutritional Ayurveda and freelance writing. In last week's episode, we talked all about how unnatural our lives have become and the effects it is having on our lives. Kristina and her husband recognized this deep restlessness in corporate America and decided to embark on a journey to find a better way. Her journey opened her up to a wide array of experiences: traveling 30 hours up to Mount Kailash in the Himalayan Mountains, to living in India for 5 months to focus on meditation and self-awareness, to finally building a sustainable mud home in Panama. Kristina's story is still evolving but her unwavering desire to ground herself and live an authentic life will keep her moving forward.

I'm launching my membership, the Quitter Club, for the first time and I want to tell you all about it. Why did I switch to a membership? What's included? Who is it for? All of that and more is included in this week's episode.

As long as you tell yourself the lie that you don't know what you want, you'll stay stuck exactly where you are. You do know what you want. You're just scared to admit it to yourself. Because once you admit, then you actually have to take action. But there is power in admitting it to yourself. It allows you to get out of all the confusion and overwhelm that keeps you spinning for years and actually get started on the path to your dreams.

In this episode, I dive into how you can start accessing what you really want.

We often think that our thoughts are not only "true" but "realistic." So we tell ourselves things like "this probably won't work," "I have no idea how to do this," and "this is way too hard," in order to not be delusional.

In today's episode, I'm going to show you how that not only creates the result of you not figuring it out but also creates a life that is small and unenjoyable.

I'm a big believer in the thinking it'll always work out for you even if you have no proof that it will. Not because I want you to be delusional. There is a total logical reason to think this. And it'll change your whole life.

Check out the episode to find out how.

We're all doing too much. Busy has become a badge of honor. And as we continue to run on the hamster wheel to get ALL THE THINGS done, we miss out on this one precious life we have. No more. The goal is not to get more done. The goal is to have less to do. Without guilt.

That's what I teach you on the podcast this week.

Balancing all of the thoughts around your career is already hard enough, throw kids into that mix and it can feel like you're constantly drowning.

The guilt of feeling like you're always dropping some balls.The resentment of never having any time for yourself.The exhaustion of always taking care of someone or something else.

This week on the podcast, I'm going to show you how thought work helped transform my relationship as a mother which allowed me to create the career of my dreams.

In this episode, I talk about how learning to manage my mind helped me:

1. Understand my real role as a mother
2. Understand myself better
3. Understand my children more fully

All three of these things allowed me to take off the martyr-badge most moms are required to wear and create a life that actually works for me and my family.
